Figure 14 Physical Configuration Tool After Modifying
Example: No Previous Rack Names or Rack Offsets Assigned
If the modular components in your system were never assigned Rack Name and Rack Offset values
through Set Physical Location actions, you should find them listed in the Unconfigured FRUs pane
when you first launch the Physical Configuration Tool.
1. Click Add Rack to create representations of the racks in your system.
2. Drag and drop the modular components to the appropriate location in each rack.
3. Click Save Configuration to save the view you have created for future use from within the
Physical Configuration Tool.
Miscellaneous Changes
• There is no Status Log menu option to launch the Windows Event Viewer because the OSM
Service Connection does not reside on the PC and therefore does not create Windows events.
• You cannot launch a terminal emulator session from the OSM Service Connection; it is available
from the OSM Low-Level Link and from the Windows Start menu.
• Quick-key accelerators are reserved for standard Internet Explorer functionality; therefore,
they are not customizable for OSM.
Establishing an OSM Service Connection Session
You can initiate an OSM Service Connection session in two ways. The first is quicker if you meet
the qualifications.
Method 1: Using Home Page Bookmarks
This method is available only if you have installed the OSM Console Tools client component, and
can only be used for direct access to an OSM Service Connection session only if you have an
OSM Service Connection 57
